As you've probably noticed, if you delete those hidden numbers, you lose the numbering you want. When I have reset numbering in docs going out for review or back to the writers, I put a "Do not delete" note in the numbering therefore also hidden to avoid deliberate accidents.
In reply to PamCaswell's post on August 13, Hope this helps someone In reply to navyjax2's post on November 27, Heading numbering should be done with a multilevel list, yes. This ensures that restarts work correctly. The behavior hasn't changed since, at least, Word 97, although the user interface has changed a lot.
I'm glad you worked your problem out. The next time it should be simpler if you remember to put the cursor in the first Heading 1 or whatever style you intend to link to the first number level in the document before you apply the multilevel list. That way, all of the styles will be updated, and numbered, when you OK out of the multilevel list dialog. Also note that you can link any paragraph style to a number level, so if some of your numbered levels are not headings but regular text, you can link them to text styles such as List and List 1.
Note that your problem is quite different from the OP's who was already using a multilevel list linked to paragraph styles and needed to skip, at least temporarily, some of the numbers in the list. So, what if I want the "between" numbers to be hidden in Word like they are in ? Then what do I do? In reply to A. User's post on April 16, Set the values as wanted.

I just that "5. After this item I will have more items that will be "5. If it makes a difference these headings are within tables. I find that tables in Word seem to unnecessarily complicate things.
But I am finding that everything in Word has unspecified and undesired side-effects, nothing does what it states it does, it does several other things regardless of what you want. Nothing is simple and just does what you expect. I'm constantly searching the Internet and reading about Words features to try to solve things that I'd expect to be simple due to these automatic side-effects. I like the idea of styles, they have benefits over just using formatting, especially to maintain consistency, however Word needs to stop overriding the user and changing things, it needs to give preference to what it was told to do, not what it thinks might be good.
It's not helping, it's making things unintuitive and taking lots of time to fix things because it's doing the wrong thing - what the user does not want and did not tell it to do. Yes, I do not understand Words features or functionality sufficiently to achieve my desired goals. I do want to understand Word better so that I can use it, but it is frustratingly complicated to achieve simple things. Details required :. Cancel Submit. Suzanne S. Barnhill MVP.
